Chinese side folding buttstock,AK vs Pellet Rifle

The question comes up from time to time,is the buttstock from the Chinese Pellet Rifle the same as the one on the Side folder Chinese AK?

No,although they appear to look the same,they are,in fact,quite different.The trunnion hole pattern is totally different and the guage of steel on the buttstock of the Pellet Rifle is thinner than that used on the AK.

I'll get my Chinese sidefolder back from In Range this Friday,it's been a few Months since I've seen it,and I'll let you know for sure but I seem to remember the scales from the AK being heavier than those from the pellet rifle.

Air Rifle stock to AK

I took the stock from one of these air rifles and welded the stock to a cut down standard rear trunion to build an AK. My welding was not pretty but it got the job done. Nothing else from the air gun will work on a real AK.

The rifle is a Hunguarian SA 85 built on an AK builder flat with a Chinese top cover, US muzzle nut, TAPCO G 2 and piston. The pistol grip is the orange stained Chinese grip. I will put the stock on a MAC or Poly rifle if I can snag one for a good price.
